Course Instruction & Methodology
The Sales Certification Program has been developed in response to the request of our membership. We have consulted with some of the leading training companies in America and the leader in media research, Borrell Associates, to create an exciting and innovative program. The programs are available on-demand for 45-days after registration. They can be taken at home or in the office and at your staff’s own pace.
The Sales Certification Program consists of courses, which are built around a theme, such as the Fundamentals Media Course. Each course consists of a variety of topics known as modules that are individual training sessions.
Convenient Video Format
All programming is delivered via a high quality, online learning management system offering training courses made up of video modules. There is a library of instructional materials, which includes a downloadable PDF of each training module as a study tool.
Certification Testing
At each step of the way, after each video module, there is an assessment test to confirm retention of the materials covered. The passing grade for these tests is 90%. Those that score under 90% will be required retake the test before advancing to the next module in a course.
You Are Certified!
Upon successful completion of the course, the sales professional can download a custom certificate with their name on it, to certify compliance with the LMA standards of the Sales Certification Program.
